CoinSpot Brings Bitcoin ATM to Contentious Russia
Did you know there's a bitcoin conference happening in Moscow, Russia? Neither did we. To say the least, event organizers didn't exactly do the best of jobs promoting the event, but that's beside the point. Russian start-up CoinSpot has apparently brought one of the first bitcoin ATMs to Moscow, Russia.

The Geeko in Russian. Coinspot credits me and CCN so that's all good. Hypron, creator of the 4-way exchange split page for serious data junkies, told me that Coinspot.ru, a Russian cryptocurrency blog, is translating and sharing my articles. Hypron noticed a lot of new traffic was coming from CCN (I linked to his useful page in a recent article) and the Coinspot version of that same article... It's pretty funny to see my stuff in Russian! Also, you guys (and my new crypto comrades) should tip Hypron some coin so he's encouraged to build more useful tools for our community. In other....
